Divers on a mission to uncover maritime history are set to retrieve a 3,000-year-old shipwreck from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient vessel is believed to be a Phoenician trading ship that dates back to the 8th century BCE.
The shipwreck was discovered by a team of researchers from the University of Haifa in Israel, who have been studying the area for several years. The team has been using advanced technology, including a remotely operated underwater vehicle, to explore the site and gather data.
Now, the team is preparing to retrieve the shipwreck and bring it to the surface for further study. Divers will carefully lift the wreck from the seabed and transport it to a specially designed tank filled with a special liquid to prevent further deterioration.
The shipwreck is expected to provide significant insight into the ancient world of the Phoenicians, an ancient civilization that dominated the Mediterranean region for centuries. The Phoenicians were renowned for their seafaring skills and were among the first to develop long-distance trade routes.
The retrieval of the shipwreck is a significant achievement for the team of researchers and divers involved in the project. It is hoped that the discovery will shed new light on the Phoenician civilization and provide valuable information about the history of maritime trade in the ancient world.
